A Simplified Calculation Method for the Near-Slope Laterally Loaded Pile Based on a Passive Wedge Model by Minghui Yang, Bo Deng, Yuhui Wang

“…On this basis, a concept of equivalent depth is proposed considering the differences of laterally loaded piles near the slope and in the horizontal ground. Besides, the unit ultimate soil resistance, which can be obtained along the different depths of pile, is introduced into the p-y curve of the soil, for achieving solution methods of internal force and displacement of laterally loaded piles under the slope weakening effect. …”
